New submission from Dan Stromberg <strom...@gmail.com>: The attached file demonstrates the problem in 2.5, 2.5, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2.
In short, I believe when you're creating a new tar archive (say, to a pipe), there should be no need for a file_.tell() (which blows up when it's a pipe). I have a workaround, as demonstrated in the file, but probably others shouldn't have to work around this also in the future. Suggested fix: Only do the tell when you're appending or performing other operations that require subsequent seek's. ---------- components: Extension Modules files: tar-test messages: 130422 nosy: strombrg priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: tarfile tries to file_.tell() even when creating a new archive type: crash versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file21059/tar-test _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11449> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
